Milk way in Pangkor Island

All shots are post processed with Lightroom only, no photoshop involved, if in darker place you can see it with your own bare eyes.

Mitakon F/0.95 50mm on Sony A7

Finally I get the chance to try out a F/0.95 lens, on full frame camera. Other than the legendary leica F0.95 I don't find it any other lens get as good as this mitakon F/0.95 50mm.

I got it yesterday night, today is my first day walking around my housing area and trying to shoot some of the picture. I am not good at manual focusing, but thanks to the peeking mode, I guess the manual focus get easier than ever.

Many would think that the mitakon F/0.95 50m may be be soft if shoot wide open. But I am very sure the F/0.95 performance is really good at this price value. By using real sample, rather than comparing pixel by pixel with some charts. I believe this will make you believe this lens is a must for 50mm prime.

As you can see from this picture. The cat is the focus, from this picture, it might not be too sharp and looks a bit soft. But perhaps I think is the jpg or picture compression issue. Or may be it gets uploaded to Facebook it will get worse.

But when I enlarge and zoom it in, you can see the sharpness on the cat face and the moustache. 

It is really sharp. I will update more picture for the following few days.

AMD-9370 vs Intel Core i7-3770

Recently I am thinking to upgrade my 2 years old work station, which only comes with a Intel Core i7-3770 and 2 intel 320 series 120GB RAID 0. Other than that, it has a Asus Motherboard. and nothing else. Of course it only has minimal graphics processing power to run games.

Due to my recent stock up, I have quite a few of Gigabytes 970A-Ds3p lying around. I have decided to get an AMD processor with new 4x RAID 0 samsung 120GB Evo. I am not sure I have no luck with AMD/Readon or AMD/radeon itself is not that good compare to Intel.

Years back, I have an Alienware R17x2 Which equiped with 2x Radeon HD5870m. The crossfire is terrible. It oftens gives me overheat and also stutter whenever I try to play games. End up I have to disable one of it. Even the drives some times giving me problem when I was trying to stream a youtube video. It always said the secondary GPU stop responding and etc etc. After sometime I have decided not to get any laptop replacement due to temperature issue and also the weight of it whenever I need to travel.

That's the very first experience I have been with AMD/Radeon. Afterall I think the Radeon GPU is quite value for money.But I believe those have the budget would not care so much about the value it gives, compare to performance.

In terms of AMD-9370, I didn't do much study, since I already got the AMD mother board I thought I can save myself few hundred RM for not getting a new MOBO. Secondly, the price of AMD-9370 is cheaper than Core I7-4770. Previously I was using 3770. Few things I didn't know about AMD processor.

1) I am not sure whether AMD 8 cores are really 8 physical cores or is just like Intel core i7 hyper threading. But this is not important. For most CPU benchmark, even running at higher clock speed. AMD 9370 is having lower benchmark score compare to i7-3770 and of course i7-4770. Passmark, geekbench and cinebench.

2) AMD-9370 doesnt come with Stock FAN or water cooling equipment. You have to purchase it yourself. End up. AMD-9370 and also core i7-4770 is almost the same price. Perhaps 4770 is even cheaper abit after adding a RM 200 Zalman water cooling.

3) I am not sure whether it is AMD RAID controller or the mother or whatever. IT seems 120GB Samsung evo has very good performance. But 4x RAID 0 only gives me max 1GB read and 700MB+ write (Sequential). Other random 4k and etc was not double the speed. It is really dissapointment.

4) It took me great effort to installed windows 7 on the RAID 0 SSD. I am not sure why even by loading the drivers it can't detect my RAID 0 SSD. I have no problem on my RAID 0 SSD during alienware and also Asus.

5) I am not sure whether the benchmark has problem or whatever. The RAM is having lower benchmark score while I am using kingston hyperX 1600mhz. My older PC uses 1333 Mhz only..

Perhaps this is why, Alot of gaming rigs are still Intel. Or perhaps the software are only written for Intel instruction set and not so much on AMD instruction set.

Milky Way photoshooting at Sg. Lembing

 Finally I got the chance to shoot and capture milky way in my camera at Sungai Lembing near Kuantan Pahang. It is a very lucky morning where the sky is extremely clear given that other state is filled with haze. So happen it doesn't have cloud also. And the milky way is Visible at the time of shooting. Some may why I mention that the Milky Way is visible during the time of shooting. I remember last year when I go to Sipadan Island, the sky is clear and also no light pollution at all, but sadly when the Milky Way is visible , the sun has risen. Thus it is impossible to cpature it. Below are some shoots of the galaxy that we live in

7 Characteristic to success

Got it from somewhere.

▲1、有旺盛的幹勁和成就動機

首先，要有健康的身體以及健康的身、心、靈，才能充滿幹勁和活力。亞洲著名藝人郭富城接受訪問時，就曾經表達「隨時歸零，突破自己」是他成功之道。要給自己一個成就動機，一個可達成的目標，讓自己永遠充滿了動力，不達成功絕不中止。國內成功的企業家，如郭台銘、嚴凱泰、王雪紅等都具備此人格特質。身體健康，活力十足，不管是順境或逆境，總是充滿著自信。

▲2、熱愛工作、積極、有企圖心

這是事業成功必須具有的人格特質，幾乎百分百的成功人物都是熱愛工作，樂此不疲的，如愛迪生、松下幸之助、王永慶，國內的企業家一談起生意都會渾身是勁，而且是有計畫的、前瞻性的、務實前進的。要想成就大事，應企劃謀擘，進而付諸行動。有企圖心才能克服萬難，再創高峰。年度目標的成長，中長期計畫的預先規劃與此人格特質的展現是息息相關的，足見力求實踐的重要性。

▲3、對事物的認知和敏感度較強

敏感度、貼切感、認知度強烈的人，成功機率比較大，敏感度強的人，容易分辨事實的真相，比較容易做出正確的判斷，認出機會與陷阱的分野，對策略的拿捏及運用比較精準。大多數企業家皆具備此特質，能在關鍵時刻把握時機。Toyota 豐田汽車特別重視此一人格特質的養成，是有其真知灼見的。

▲4、有計畫及組織能力

凡事謹慎計畫，設定明確目標，如果又能善於運用團隊力量作最好的整合，發揮組織綜效，成就一定大於一般，又能尊重公司同仁，具備團隊的說服力、溝通協調能力，若具備此人格特質，成就一定非凡。

▲5、好的人際關係

能自律、低調，凡事感恩包容，能聆聽他人意見，適時表達對人的關懷，必能得道多助。能廣結善緣，善用團隊資源，尊重他人以誠相待，有福同享有困難互相協助；又能展現領導力、親和力，只要策略正確，一呼百應，水到渠成。

▲6、能掌握情緒和承受壓力

此項人格特質非常重要，成功在即必感沉重的壓力；因此，IQ智商、EQ情緒、MQ成熟度，這三個要素經常是成敗的關鍵因子，必須化壓力為挑戰，有這種人格特質的人，比較容易成功。許多人在距離成功一哩路時，經常被自己的情緒打敗，從古至今，不計其數，非常可惜。要喜歡挑戰，才能發揮潛力。

▲7、儲存實力積極面對未來

林書豪坐在冷板凳時，已做好萬全的演出準備，成功不是偶然的，因此個人必須專心、專注做好工作，凡事正面積極的思考，萬事具備，東風一到，自然水到渠成

Motivational Quote

Love is...

Love is just simple..

VB. NET DAY function. 'Day' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.

The day function to retrieve the day part from a DATE data type is a very common function in VB.NET
usually I will use DAY(now) to retrieve the day part. which return 1 to 31 normally.


It is working well for all my ASP.NET project until recently I started a VB.NET project because I need to synchronize a local DB using HTTP to my server. Which I need a stand alone application for the local user to help me CLICK a button to sync some data. and further improve it to becomes a automated windows service. But before that you will get an error message 
'Day' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.

I was like WTF with this VB.NET, everything should be the same as ASP.NET

it is really a frustration to look around for solution.

So the only thing you need to do is to import that DAMN visual basic reference

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.DateAndTime

everything will go fine after that, I guess this import is a "DEFAULT" import for ASP.NET
VB.NET  application or VB.NET services do not have this default setting.

My guitar performance from youtube

I didn't know it hit 15k view.. perhaps I should start practicing my guitar again!

Time flies.. Internet speed increases

Just some thoughts when today I am clearing up my gmail. I saw some post which is 2006. I do believe that time we already had broadband, that's why we are able to send attachment which is 3MB+ if not usually we will not be doing that for if this was year back at 2000.

I remember when I started to use internet, it was just 33.6 kbps. We still have to use some dial up 1515 for TMnet and Jaring for 1511. I remember even earlier. Jaring has some other 03- xxxx number. Per minute usage is about 1.5 cents + 1 cents internet access fees. I use to play online game such as quake and etc at 56kbps that time. Our ping is like 100+ but we still be able to play it really well and enjoy the game. At the same time, I play Shattered Galaxy which is another MMORTS which exists till today in 2.5 D Yet people never leave that game.

In 56kbps era, when we need to download a mp3 file it tooks us at least 10 minutes to finish. When broadband comes into our live, we have 384kps,512kps and also 1.0 mbps. That's the time we feel that technology and communication really bridges us one head further. downloading songs not longer an issues, and we go for downloading movies and games and so on. Very soon our telco introduce 3G which has 384kpbs bandwidth. In 2006, I believe the 3G PCMCIA card costs about RM 1.7k. I use it for years and finally they have upgraded to 1.2 Mbps then later to 1.8Mbps ,3.6 and recently 7.2 Mbps

Well, 3 years back fiber optics are introduced using the technology of GEPON, which allows Fiber to Home not a dream anymore. People can enjoy internet speed of 10Mbps++ till 50Mbps and even beyond to 100Mbps as some claim. And very soon 4G (ITU) not those fake 4G, that can also reach 100MBps.

time flies, thinking back how things works, how human technology has benefit us really amaze me.

DIGI 6947, (26/April/2012), conform with RSI movement

DIGI, one of the more stable blue chip in KLSE, has been performing quite stable recent. Upon looking at the past record since december 2011,  this share is currently performing as RSI indicated. Whenever it is overbought, the price will just sustain for few more days before it is dropping. Overbought is detected at beginning of february due to chinese new year. And the subsequent NEAR overbought at the beginning of March and April. The same pattern is repeating now at beginning of May.


 It seems Digi price is very well maintained and supported at 3.90 to 3.94++ level. Most of the oversold trigger does not make Digi bearish but trigger price raise in the following few days according to the past history. These patterns have repeated for the third time now. But it is expected to be a stable raise until the next 4G announcement soon.

League of Legends

Recently I play back my LOL after 2 years of stopping since beta. After some times at Beta they kind a ban all the SEA player due to language and also region issue. It is a faster pace game compare to dota.

This is my triple kill on LOL

this is my combo with Miss Fortune. Very nice indeed!

Lastly, me VS Master Yi one on one. I win!
